Just to get a hype train going, my friend is on the park crew there and says that Mt. Ellen will have a jump in the park when it opens Friday. Hopefully they will open up a lot more rails in there too.

Fun. The snow was hard and it was windy, but it sure beats the rain that is coming

Yesterday morning was the best, the light was incredible and the temp was nice. Towards the afternoon, some clouds rolled in, but it was still fun.

I had a ton of fun, I got my 5s down, so I'm stoked on that.

I was up there yesterday, although I was at South all day.  The snow was actually pretty good, with exception of few windblown areas, overall pretty fun though.

This rain is going to destroy everything though.

they closed a lot of stuff down, including all the parks to try to preserve them. kickers to boxes and rails are probably pretty bad, and i wouldnt be hitting any of the larger jumps for a bit.

its been snowing off and on here at norwich today and yesterday.
sugarbush is claiming 2 inches fresh yesterday and another 1+ today

sugarbush.com trail report is saying that the recovery is going well and it seems like theyre basically back on track already. packed powder and frozen granular conditions.

3-6 predicted for friday.

Nice, I hope things hold up well.


I saw those guys filming too, I heard them talking about going to the smokeshack in the liftline, but I have no idea where it is. I'd like to find out though. I looks like there was a pretty beaten trail going to it. New goal for the season: "Find smokeshack"

from sugarbush.com

An intense blast of winter Thursday afternoon and early evening resulted in 4-8 inches of new snow across Sugarbush. One patroller told me that 6 inches had fallen in under two hours at Castlerock sometime between 2:00 - 4:00 PM...that's a heavy downfall! Strong winds, however, have distributed that snow unevenly...so though there's certainly some nice powder on the sides of trails, in the woods, and between moguls, you'll also likely find some 'faster' surfaces on our more exposed slopes. So, expect Packed Powder and Frozen Granular trail conditions, with the added bonus of powder for those seeking their softest turns.

it is fucking cold out today if your face isnt covered, but its predicted to be sunny skies and a bit warmer tomorrow
